HI,

I've done this on my laptop as well as my desktop, it's
quite simple.

1: Install WindowsXP on a presized partition, or repartition
it afterwards with something like partition magic.

2: install freebsd on the other partition, when the install
comes to the part asking you to install a boot manager, do so
=2E It auto detects the winxp as win2k [afaik]

Then it just works when you reboot. it will ask you

F1 ???
F2 FreeBSD

F1 is windows.

Jeff
